Tissues
This major tissue type covers body surfaces, lines cavities and hollow organs, and makes up glands.
What is epithelial tissue?
This organelle produces most of the cell’s ATP through cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
This is the deeper of the two layers of the skin and contains connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves, and glands.
What is the dermis?
An atom that gains one or more electrons becomes this type of negatively charged ion.
What is an anion?
The nose is in this directional position relative to the mouth.
What is superior?
This muscle tissue is striated and involuntary, has branching cells, and is found only in the heart.
What is cardiac tissue?
These tiny structures, found free in the cytoplasm or attached to rough ER, are the sites of protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes?
This epidermal layer is found only in thick skin, such as the palms and soles.
What is the stratum lucidum?
Atoms of the same element that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers are called these.
What are isotopes?
The wrist is farther from the point of attachment of the upper limb than the elbow, making the wrist this relative to the elbow.
What is distal?
This epithelial tissue appears to have multiple layers, but all cells contact the basement membrane. Most cells have cilia, and it commonly lines the respiratory passageways.
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
A glucose molecule moves across the cell membrane from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration using a carrier protein, but no ATP is required.
What is facilitated diffusion?
Sebaceous glands use this type of exocrine secretion, in which the entire cell becomes part of the secretory product.
What is holocrine secretion?
These chemicals combine with excess acids or bases to minimize changes in the pH of body fluids.
What are buffers?
The right arm and right leg are located on this type of relationship because they are on the same side of the body.
What is ipsilateral?
Tendons need tensile strength, vocal cords need flexibility, and the spleen needs a supportive network. This connective tissue cell produces the fibers responsible for all three.
What is a fibroblast?
A cell needs to break down worn-out cell parts and cellular debris. This organelle would contain the enzymes needed for this job.
What is a lysosome?
These cells produce melanin and transfer the pigment to nearby epidermal cells to help protect their DNA from UV radiation.
What are melanocytes?
In this type of bond, electrons are shared unequally between atoms, producing an unequal distribution of charge.
What is a polar covalent bond?
This anatomical plane divides the body into anterior and posterior portions.
What is the frontal/coronal plane?
This type of body membrane lines cavities that do not open to the outside and consists of simple squamous epithelium plus areolar connective tissue.
What is a serous membrane?
During this phase of interphase, the cell replicates its DNA in preparation for cell division.
What is the S phase?
This sensory receptor in the subcutaneous layer is specialized for detecting deep pressure.
What is a Pacinian corpuscle?
A fatty acid contains one or more double bonds between carbon atoms. It is classified as this type of fatty acid.
What is an unsaturated fatty acid?
A cylindrical organ is cut at an angle rather than directly across or lengthwise. This type of section has been made.
What is an oblique section?
